## Designers: Start by Exploring the Fluid Ad Creator

Designers will notice the biggest differences in the **Fluid Ad Creator**, which has been completely rebuilt for speed, clarity, and a modern design workflow.

* The majority of other workflows remain unchanged
* Review our guide: [What’s New in the Editor](/migrating-from-studio-3-to-studio-4/studio-4-editor-whats-new-and-improved.md)

***

## Start from Migrated Templates

We’ve already migrated your templates into Studio 4.

**Best practices:**

* Start new builds from the **Templates page** whenever possible
* Test Studio 4 by editing your most recent and complex creatives
* Once updated, **save them as templates** using the "Templatize" feature

{% hint style="info" %}
Save time and avoid errors by always starting from tested, verified templates.
{% endhint %}

If you'd like help converting your most-used creatives into **Branded Templates**, contact <support@responsiveads.com>.

## Build New Creatives in Studio 4

Start by picking **non-urgent requests** for your first Studio 4 builds.

* Confirm they can be completed comfortably in the new editor
* Let us know how we can improve your experience!

***

## Set a Transition Date

We recommend choosing a date after which all **new builds** will be started in Studio 4.

> 🔗 [Guide: Copying and Migrating Creatives](/migrating-from-studio-3-to-studio-4/migrating-to-studio-4/copying-creatives-to-studio-4.md)

* Live creatives in Studio 3 can continue to run after this date
* There’s no need to retag campaigns in progress unless required

***

## Go Live with Studio 4 Creatives

When your first Studio 4 creatives are ready to go live:

* Make sure your team logs in at [studio.responsiveads.com](https://studio.responsiveads.com/) to access Studio 4 creatives
* **Previewing, exporting, ad tags, and analytics** work the same way as they did in Studio 3
* Studio 3 creatives remain accessible from Studio 4

  > You'll be redirected to Studio 3 when needed

> ⚠️ We recommend sharing creatives using the **full creative URL** instead of just the ID to ensure the correct Studio is launched.

For campaigns running in **Studio 3**, we recommend:

* Letting them run to completion in [app2.responsiveads.com](https://app2.responsiveads.com/)
* Only starting new work in Studio 4 once you’ve passed your transition date
